Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
02 Mar 2025
As a public intellectual, activist and professor at Smith College, Loretta Ross is no stranger to confrontation and debate. But years of working to change the minds of others have led her to rethink her own ideas about approaching difficult conversations. Loretta and Adam discuss why shaming rarely changes behavior and her powerful alternative to cancel culture. They also reflect on personal moments of confrontation and explore strategies for talking others out of hate.

Hey TED Talks Daily Listeners, I'm Elise Hu. Today we have an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, handpicked by us for you. It's Women's History Month in the United States and we are kicking it off with a recent episode of Rethinking with Adam Grant.
This episode features reproductive rights activist and Smith College professor Loretta Ross, who has spent her career fighting injustices and working to change the minds of others. Over time she began to question whether calling people out was the right strategy for lasting change and instead started to rethink what it meant to approach difficult conversations.
Loretta and Adam reflect on their own personal moments of confrontation and consider what an alternative to cancel culture could look like. To hear more deep conversations you can find Rethinking wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about the TED Audio Collective at audiocollective.ted.com
It takes too much energy to hate people. I've always found that exhausting.
Hey everyone, it's Adam Grant. Welcome back to Rethinking, my podcast on the science of what makes us tick with the TED Audio Collective. I'm an organizational psychologist and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking. Mein Gast heute ist Loretta Ross, öffentlich-intellektuelle Aktivistin und Professorin an der Smith College.
Sie ist die Autorin von »Calling In«, was sowohl ein mächtiges Memoir als auch ein Masterclass in konstruktiver Konfrontation ist. Loretta ist mein Lieblings-Krusader gegen die Kanzelkultur. Sie hat ein Geschenk, um Menschen bessere Wege zu finden, um Angst und Enttäuschung zu verhindern.
Die Emotionen sind wahr. Die Frage ist, wirst du traumabhängig oder traumabhängig sein?
